Manhattan Reborn 1978

David closed the book "Memoirs of a Stock Operator" and looked at the small booklet underneath it.

This is the reflection of some professors at Princeton University after reading this book.

David opened it.

In this booklet, many people have left long or short comments and messages after reading it.

For example, in this paragraph, I have met Livermore and discussed with him many times. Livermore believes that the stock market is one of the most difficult places to succeed!

There are countless people and human nature involved here.

This is also a place where it is difficult to show off your strengths, because it is very difficult to control and overcome human nature.

David chewed on this short paragraph for a long time.

Write it down.

Then he looked at the next paragraph.

Livermore was a born gambler. No matter whether he had a net worth of hundreds of millions or a lot of debt, he still had a bad gambling habit. He always wanted to bet big again. If he kept going like this, he would lose everything sooner or later.

Lost everything?

David skipped the second half of Livermore's life experience in the book. Looking at the meaning of this passage, could it be that this guy went bankrupt several times later?

David shook his head and looked at the next paragraph.

I personally experienced the Wall Street stock market crash in 1929. Livermore was labeled a big short seller on Wall Street by many newspapers at the time!

Countless people blamed him for the stock market crash, and he received death threats.

But in my opinion, he is just a lucky and smart speculator.

He seized the opportunity very accurately and made the right bet!

It was precisely because of Livermore's success that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission was established in 1934 and introduced a series of new regulations to fill in the management gaps in some trading rules for this poorly managed financial market. .

This series of new regulations also allows the stock market to be re-recognized by people!

Gee.

Ok!

Livermore took advantage of loopholes in the rules and made a lot of money after a series of operations. As a result, in disguise, he prompted the U.S. Congress to implement a major patch to the financial market.

Bull man!

David raised his head, shook his head and rubbed his neck, trying to relax his body.

Only then did he notice that the sky outside the window had begun to get brighter.

amount. .

Is this morning?

Staying up all night reading seems like a feat that you have never done in your previous life, right? !

I looked at my watch, it was already past 4:30. .

David felt tired in an instant, felt dizzy, and wanted to fall asleep.

Is this excessive energy consumption?

Ok.

Then go to bed first.

Thinking of this, David made the bed, lay down, and fell asleep as soon as he turned over.

In the dream, Livermore's early life experiences seemed to become a movie, playing in his mind.

It was as if he was using a photographer's perspective to watch, record, and experience everything in Livermore's first half of his life.

This feels so weird.

Boston.

In the morning, it started to rain lightly.

The cool autumn wind swayed with raindrops.

Inside the Morgan family's mansion.

Old Morgan family, after breakfast.

Old Morgan has made an appointment to visit an old friend in the morning to discuss matters, and Pine and Giles are also preparing to return to New York today.

Neria was holding Pine's hand and giving instructions while Giles helped him put on his coat while the old butler helped him.

Old Morgan was already dressed and standing at the gate, checking the buttons of his coat.

After Neria finished instructing Pine, she turned around and walked to Giles who had already put on his coat, hugged him and whispered.

The second son, Giles, ran away wildly for several months after graduating from college and could not come home.

She just came back and stayed for one night yesterday, but she was leaving again this morning. Neriya was a little reluctant to let Giles and the others leave, but she couldn't say anything to ask them to stay.

The children have grown up one by one, and it is impossible not to let them go out of the house.

Neriya understands these truths.

Pine glanced at the mother and son hugging each other, put on his coat, nodded to the old housekeeper, and walked towards Old Morgan at the door.

Old Morgan and Pine walked out of the door of the big house, holding the staff of civilization, and stood at the door, looking at the light rain moistening the ground.

"Pine, how are Laura and Lilith?"

Pine lowered his head slightly and gathered his coat. Old Morgan still couldn't hold back and asked this question.

Everyone in the family knows that Old Morgan treats the four children and their partners equally. They are all Old Morgan's children.

The fact that Lilith and Laura became lovers this time should be difficult for old Morgan to accept for a while.

"They are all very good! Lilith accepted the media group and started to screen suitable TV stations to acquire. After Laura returned to Sapphire from her meeting with David, she was in her room. She said she would go to New York today. Playing with classmates.”

Old Morgan didn't speak and nodded gently.

"You and Giles are trying to fill up Laura's schedule these days. In a few days, Laura will enter college and there will be fewer opportunities for them to meet. I hope time can Let them figure something out.”

"Ok sir."

After a few minutes.

The old housekeeper walked out first, and behind him, Neria also walked out with Giles on her arm.

Pine waved to several cars that were already waiting not far away.

They slowly drove to the gate.

Giles kissed his mother Neria on the cheek and forehead, patted her hand, then walked to old Morgan, opened his arms and hugged his father.

"Don't worry, I will take good care of my sister."

Old Morgan's eyes narrowed, a smile appeared on his lips, and he gently patted Giles' back with his hand.

"Your mother and I will go to New York to see you in a few days!"

"Okay dad, see you in New York!"

After saying goodbye.

Several people watched Old Morgan get into the car and looked into the distance.

Neriya gently pulled Pine, stood up on tiptoes, kissed his cheek, and said, "Go."

"Goodbye, Mom!"

"Goodbye, ma'am!"

Neriya and the old housekeeper watched Giles and Pine get into the car and leave.

"While they are all at home, why am I still looking forward to when they will grow up and leave home?"

"It wasn't until they all grew up and left that I realized that this feeling was really not good."

"Madam, the chicks will eventually leave the nest, and the children will eventually leave the home where they grew up. We are old, but we have witnessed their growth, haven't we?"

"You are still so good at comforting people!"

"I'm going to call Panaris and ask him when he will return to New York. At the beginning of next month, let's go to New York to see them."

"Good lady!"

new York.

In front of a hospital in Brooklyn.

Nicky Baan is being pushed by several medical staff, preparing to be loaded into an ambulance and transported to prison to await trial in court.

Next to them there were several police cars and a group of police officers guarding the surrounding area.

Matthews sat in one of the police cars and looked at the busy medical staff not far ahead.

Cohen wasn't lying. Nicky Bane is out of danger, but he will probably have to live with one hand for the rest of his life.

Whether the villain survives behind bars after the trial is none of Matthews' business.

In the restaurant on the corner that Matthews couldn't see, there was a man sitting by the window, eating breakfast, holding a newspaper, and secretly observing the situation in front of the hospital.

Looking at the state of police alert, things are a bit tricky this time!
